Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don’t know why.
Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb fucks
Another one for the graveyard!
This. Freedom is part of the quality of a program.
You love to see it.
It has it as a setting. It should be default though
I mean, there’s a reason there are so many distros. They’re for different needs.
Some people seem to prioritise a little convenience above absolutely everything else, which leads to Ubuntu, but people like me want proprietary software to burn in hell, so we wouldn’t use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not suitable for our needs. It also wouldn’t be suitable for having an easily customiseable OS, which a lot of people like.
Yeah I know that’s allowed under the GPL, but you mentioned them “choosing to keep a FOSS version”, which if they didn’t do that would mean relicensing. It’s still FOSS here.
Obviously these phones aren’t as good as megacorp-backed Androids yet, they’re much newer and the software is being developed by the community for fucks sake. And the manufacturers haven’t had so many design revisions to recognise and fix all the issues.
They’re development/early adopter devices. And the killswitches aren’t pointless, because while you can enable airplane mode, that’s a software mechanism which can be maliciously changed, either by the manufacturer or an attacker. A kill switch will 100% cut you off.
Aren’t there outside contributors? How can they relicense it without their permission?
To be fair, if the free software “hardliners” like the FSF soften their stance, then that “hardline” just shifts. If nobody maintains that stance the strongest libre software principles will become weaker, if that makes sense.
The FSF is very useful for preventing that, even if they’re not quite as big as softer movements like “Open Source”
This could be complete gibberish though, I’m tired.
So you’re suggesting they remove or tag 99% of projects from the directory because you don’t like where they put their source code? Seriously?
If you really don’t like it, use the git command line to access it… It’s just the server where the code is hosted…
And no, you don’t need an access token to clone a repo.
Yes these sites are bad, no it doesn’t warrant tarring the projects hosted on them.
They might as well have though 🙃
Hey, even ChromeOS itself runs off of the computer.
You don’t need to use the terminal to install a program at all, at least on Debian with KDE Plasma. You can either download a .deb file and install it with the graphical deb installer, or you can open the software centre (Discover for KDE) and search for it. You can even add extra repositories graphically (and for Debian, you probably are going to want to enable the non-free repo by doing this, which I think has a tick box).
I’ve also never had Linux break on me, unless I broke it myself after poking things I shouldn’t poke.
Good point. I think something like a short questionnaire asking what the user is interested in and how they align, stuff like that, then showing a randomised list of instances that match that would be a better idea, then.
Either way, I still think the current way of listing the instances needs to change.
Yeah. Personally, I also think the join-lemmy.org page should just be a randomised list of instances, not “recommended” and “popular”. It’ll help strengthen the decentralisation and make sure that instances are able to cope with a lot of new users coming to Lemmy easier.
Not really. They’re all connected anyways, and if they use an app they’ll probably never notice apart from the @instance.com theu have to put at the end of some communities
Searching for some communities on other instances also seems broken on Jerboa. I had to go to the lemmy.zip site and follow a certain one from lemmy.world from there.
Well, considering that they’re canceling the one which was running in Fife (?) because it required two drivers, I don’t think so.
